I don’t know if I mentioned this, but if I ever get around to posting the entirety of my travelogue in any sort of coherent linear fashion on here, I want to remember how awed and humbled I was by the overwhelming charity and kindness of strangers.

For the Internet’s convenience + ’cause, hey, why not, and ’cause I spent all day figuring it out for myself anyway, I figured why not share the classic Nestlé Toll House Cookie recipe… converted to metric! Nestlé’s European, anyway, right? This may be kind of pointless since half these ingredients are like mining for gold in places that use fucking deciliters, but whatever; I’ll leave it to you to figure out how to get decent American food in your shitty, horrible, backwoods third-world country.

COMBINE flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Lucy, I’m home!
So I got back last night at 1 in the morning. I guess this means I’ve come to the end, since I’m back in the Bay, and there’s no more pro cricket games to blog.
I know there’s still a lot I have to fill in, and, I promise I will. I didn’t end up getting that laptop from Pickle so that kind of complicates my intended updating schedule, but I assure you I will fix all the holes + regale you with my tales of freight hopping and rides from… interesting people.
